will also have unlimited access to their TransUnion credit report
and credit score so they can check their status any time.”

finance or lease a new Lincoln through Lincoln Automotive Financial

their account on the TransUnion website. The service continues for
two years.
“Canadians are losing millions of dollars to identity theft
every year and we expect a very positive response to this
complimentary service,” Cusworth added.
